The villa is only 1 hour 50 minutes away from the great "Sky Station" ski village resort at Pradollano (2100m) near Granada in the heart of the sunny Sierra Nevada mountain range.

It is reached through breath-taking scenery on top class mountain motorways. The Ski resort has ski-runs going up to 3,300 metres altitude and a very attractive ski village with ample high quality accommodation at reasonable prices if you fancy staying over for a couple of nights.

In the Winter and Spring, one-day skiing excursions are quite practical and excellent fun – leave the house at 9 a.m. arrive at 10.50 a.m. - hire your skis - have an early lunch and be on the slopes with your half-day pass soon after noon.

Ski until 4 p.m. (5 p.m. if you are keen) have a nice relaxing apres-ski tea or something stronger and be back in Almerimar by 8 p.m.

A nice warm shower – dress and be out before 9 p.m. for dinner in one of the best restaurants overlooking the marina for less per head than a Friday night pub meal in the UK.
